The best way that I can describe this blog is that it is as complex as I am. After all, I have many interests, many concerns and a few 'pet peeves'(otherwise known as issues that I am still dealing with) and a thing or two that just simply 'IGNITES' this Czech/German/Polish Temper.
This is where I testify that I am alive and part of the whole world and to save other people from repeating my mistakes and/or bad experiences.

Saturday's Post Giving Support to Where It is Needed

Tell Congress to Give Equal Medical Coverage to Military Women

Our government provides insurance coverage for abortions in cases of
rape and incest for civilian women, like federal employees -- but that
same coverage is denied to women in the military and military
dependents.

It's not right, and it's not fair.

More than
400,000 women serve in the armed forces and put their safety and lives
at risk to preserve and protect our freedom. Yet these women are denied
access to the same health care available to the civilians they protect.
The Shaheen Amendment would address this inequity, but it needs our
support to move forward.

For today's Daily Action, write
to your members of Congress and ask them to give military women the same
medical coverage they give to other federal employees.

As an American Woman who served in the U.S. Army Reserve from 1980-1992. I remember how much support the service men got, but somehow we Women did not deserve it, which can be demoralizing to the service women. Thankfully, I served during peace time. The Truth of the matter is, agree or disagree with the War or Wars, but do please Support ALL Our Troops, Not Just a few--Not Just the White, Anglo-Saxon, Heterosexual Christian Males, who make up a very small minority of our troops, ALL OUR TROOPS DESERVE OUR SUPPORT.

Dear Readers, I am passing this e-mail on because Sesame Street and many other PBS Shows were there when my sons were growing up. I remember them watching Sesame Street and Reading Rainbow, which always resulted in a trip to the library or libraries, if the book was not there and was wanted to much to wait, so instead of us waiting for the book to come to the library, we drove to where the book was, but looking back--it was worth it, very much worth it indeed. So Let Us Continue To Support PBS for this generation and future generations;

What did Big Bird ever do to Mitt Romney?

For two years, Republicans have been pushing this crazy idea that Public Broadcasting is the cause of all our nation’s problems. It’s ridiculous.

Let’s tell Mitt and the Republicans in Congress that their failed policies of the past caused the deficit, not PBS!

Who stands up for those Americans who have to worry about which
country will be the cheapest to outsource to? Who speaks for those
patriots who can only afford one lobbyist for their beach houses? Who
represents the top .0001 percent who must deal with the uncertainty that
they may lose the tax credit on their private jet?
Paul Ryan (R-WI). That’s who.
Paul Ryan has always been a voice for the Americans who already have
the loudest voice. When 9/11 rocked America, he knew that the only
solution was a massive cut in taxes on dividends and capital gains. When
the war in Afghanistan became the longest conflict in American history,
he knew that the only solution was to cut taxes on the rich even more
and ask future seniors to pay more for Medicare.
And when moguls like Mitt Romney have to search abroad for places to store millions tax-free, Paul Ryan has the answer. In another video unearthed by Mother Jones, we learn that Paul Ryan wants to make America a “tax shelter.”
Forget that tax shelters are typically tiny nations where banks
dominate the economy. Forget that America’s biggest problem — income
inequality — is only fueled by tax breaks for the rich. Forget that some
people believe patriotism should be enough to make people who have done
extremely well in America pay the taxes they owe.
Paul Ryan understands the plight of Mitt Romney — a man who seems to
have spent most of his adult life avoiding taxes — and he wants to make
it easier for him, even though taxes as a share of GDP are at a
half-century low.Growing up reading Ayn Rand
has given Paul Ryan a keen sense of empathy that only extends to the
rich and you can see why Mitt Romney chose him to have his back. But the
rich had better recognize that Mr. Ryan needs their support too. Rob
Zerban, Ryan’s opponent for his seat in the House of Representatives, outraised the congressman in the third quarter.
Imagine if Paul Ryan lost twice in November. Who would speak for the rich then?
